According to a court document, the father — Bredow’s ex-husband — wants the child to be vaccinated, the news station reports.

"Why automatically side with the father that wants the vaccines? What about my choice as a mother?” she said to the news station.

Bredow said that she and her then-husband initially decided to space out and delay some vaccinations.

A lawyer for Bredow's ex-husband, Jason Horne, told ABC News that the court first ordered the child to be vaccinated in November 2016.

When students enroll in school, they're required to show proof that they were vaccinated against diseases such as polio, chickenpox and measles—infections that can spread quickly through an unprotected group.

Students can be exempted from the vaccine requirement if they have a medical condition that makes immunizations dangerous, such as pediatric cancer or HIV. In most states, parents also can get exemptions based on personal beliefs, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Bredow says the issue is about a parent's choice, and she feels that her rights as a parent are being taken away from her.
